I've discussed angular definitions with @jamesmartin here, before! :D If the cam is 180 degrees out, I think you want to rotate the crankshaft by one turn. 360 degrees on the crank will give you 180 degrees on the camshaft. That's what you need, isn't it? And you probably don't want to go...

Yeah, I get that about dropping the movement down through the chassis, but I'm sure it could be done in a much more simple way. I (and many others) have got a separate damper, so don't really need it to do that. It just seems like a completely over-designed unit for what it actually achieves.

I've often wondered about the steering relay...why is it there? It seems a horribly heavy, awkward, complex design for a component that takes angular movement at one end, and gives exactly the same movement at the other! Surely something more simple could have achieved the same effect, just as...

You certainly need to remove the bolts along the front edge of the roof. Not sure whether you can get enough flex in the roof to allow it to lift enough to fold the windscreen forwards from beneath it, or whether you'll need to at least slacken off all the other roof bolts, too. Certainly not...

Oops, sorry!

Mainly the experience of the guy in the Heritage Trust. Just his opinion, presumably based on where the majority of CKD vehicles at that time were sent, and given it had a regular Solihull chassis plate, rather than the 'Leyland Australia' plate that was mostly used down there. Quarry....yes...

Really don't know. They (Heritage Trust) think it went to either SA or Australia and since Australia tended to use their own chassis plate for 'Leyland Australia', they think it went to SA. But no records to state where it was. Previously, I'd thought it had been used in a quarry for a couple of...

I tried to order a Heritage certificate from the British Motor Industry Heritage Trust (to get historic status!), only to be told mine was a CDK, and they don't have any records remaining for CDK's - they can't even tell me where mine was shipped to, although they suspect South Africa or...

Either fold the windscreen forwards... ...or how about using one of those hex driver bits in a ring spanner?

I'd also add that using a little hand vacuum pump like one of these https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/263918352366 made this the easiest way for me to bleed my clutch and brakes.

The temperature sensor is a variable resistor to ground, so if the meter is going to maximum deflection, then it suggests there is a break in the wiring either from the gauge to the sensor, or from the sensor body to ground (probably less likely, assuming the engine is well grounded). Your could...

Thank you, but I was having a dig at the channel's name rather than your message! :D

That's not confusing at all! Someone really didn't think that through, when choosing a name for the channel! But thanks for the pointer. I was going to visit Brooklands a couple of years ago...didn't quite get around to it, and then Covid struck. Will be good to see what I missed. Will get...

Curious. I think they are both connectors! I think #1 is maybe a terminal in the block/multiway connector that connects the switch cable into the chassis loom, in the engine bay next to the clutch petal top, while #2 are the individual bullet connectors at the rear. where the bullet connectors...

Yup, I had the same problem! The door hinge fixings in particular were a big problem, is that the screw heads were just too big. I ended up just buying the individual screws and other fixings by part number from the catalogue, using lrworkshop.com to check for equivalents, and then ordering...

I'm still worried by the comments that it might be the vertical position of the axle/shackles that's causing the problem. as I said previoiusly: "I was going to say that loading the vehicle to get the suspension to move so that the old prop shaft can be made to fit, isn't really a solution. When...

What this will achieve is to move the plate so the U-bolt fixing holes are in the 'correct' position, but when you place the axle on the spring, the locating dowel will still be in exactly the same position, so the axle will also still be in the same place - just that the fixing holes will now...

...three of us....that's how it was when I dismantled mine, so a PO must also have thought that's how it should be! :D Or rather, 4 including @Blackburn :D:D

I had the spring under the collar/canceller, as you have it now. My collar looked like yours, not like part 589553, so I'd suggest the diagram doesn't apply to the collar we have. The diagram does look very odd. Not sure what use the spring has in that position. It makes a lot more sense for it...

Yeah, sorry about that. I should have looked at mine before posting!
